The rural precincts Of Ohio county held
IN election on Tuesday In which the city
districts had no part. This was the
annual school election, at which County
Superintendent, q President Of the Board
OF each distric. and one Commissioner
for each district are chosen. Besides
this, local questions such as the local levy,
the length Of the school year, ETC., were
decided by the vote. As usual the re.
turns come in slowly. They indicate,
however, the election Of J. Il. Foreman as
County Superintendent over the present
incumbent, W. O. Wiedman, by small
majority. The returns are as follows,

Advantages of Staying in Town.

Assuredly, one of the advantages Of
staying in town lies in the fact that you
have not to come back. If the act of start
ing is depressing, That of returning is
equally so. And is so, not only that the
process of unpacking is about as tedious
as it's contrary, but because one is no
sooner in ones favOrite chair than one
realizes how futile has been ones alb
sence from it. Those who stay at home
have at least this satisfaction-that they
have no regrets, that they have been pur
suing the even tenor of their way. They
have been enjoying themselves after their
own fashion. But, on the other hand,
how transient Is the impression made
upon the holiday taker. There is moth
ing more doIeful in the annual flight
from the home than the rapidity with
which it leaves the memory.
No sooner has one set ones foot within
ones own doorway than one drops at
once into the old habits both OF act and
thought The interval since we left ap-
pears a dream. We eau scarcely believe
we have been away. 1t seems only yes
terday since we set out on our pilgrim
age And now all Is over. 1t is sad re
Election. 1t may be said, "At least we
have had the change, and will be better
for it." And physically we may, though
not much. 1t is both singular and melan-
choly that when we resume our ordinary
course OF life it should be with so little
recollection of the immediate past-so
small a sense of permanent refreshment.

A Railroad in a Forest.

You never know or feel how utterly I'M
0oeticaI and practical railroad is until
YOU come across it in tSe middle OF the
forest. Nature ebhOrs a straight line,
and everything beside it seems to protest
against that double straight line of iron
hat looks all the harder and more defiant
when the rails take the sunbeams and
mock the sentiment out of them and turn
them into hard metallic light. The trees
seem to do their best to ignore the rail
road in a dignified way, as becomes the
Inonarchs of the forest. The shrubbery
hangs over, not with the wooing or caress
ilg movement that it has when it makes
.ove to the brook below, but with kind
# mixture of fear and anger, as a dog
treats a suspicious stranger.
The path crosses it, pursues its crooked
vray in and out and around trees and
rushes, and wanders off erraticany into
-,e forest or up the hillside, but every
- and again it turns toward the rail
track as if it had quite forgotten it,
Z stops abruptly with a kind of disgust
it said, what, you here again" and
back into the woods again. Taen the
inc comes along. Its sound is weird
a. / worldly in the sacred groves; its
g.noke never seems to penetrate the
foliage. but is barred out, and nature
seems to breathe again when the train
rushing as if it had as little love for
nature as nature has for it, passes on to
the open plain and the populous city -
